What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • It’s Time and It’s Today!

    Huge excitement today as the Equal Marriage bill comes to the Scottish Parliament for a final vote.

    I’ve been involved in this campaign pretty much from the beginning, speaking at Pride, marching, organising, listening, distributing materials, writing, cajoling, chatting on TV and Radio, preaching and generally getting people to think about it.

    A hugely proud day for Scotland and a campaign and a movement that I’ll never forget.

    One of the things that a lot of people won’t know is that many of the original signatures on the petition that kicked all this off came from students on campus at the University of Glasgow and many of them were gathered by members of the LGBT group at St Mary’s.

    Well, the campaign is just about over. It’s time and it’s today!

    I have joined the Society of Grey Beard Bikers so the beard will have to stay.

    You may be right–and I hope you are–about film (which I use, and have had increasing difficulty in finding a place willing to develop it); here in San Francisco, there’s been a resurgence of interest in vinyl records.

  • A Praepostery?

    It is a weekend of several Provosts. The Provost of the Cathedral of the Diocese of Gothenburg is here this weekend so I’m off to Kelvingrove today being a tourguide. Tomorrow, I’m hoping to meet the new Provost of St Paul’s Cathedral in Dundee. Thus, three Provosts are likely to meet in the same place…

  • 11%

    The rate of growth of our main Sunday service 11%. By that, I mean that the average number of comminicants last year was 11% more than the previous year which was itself 11% more than the year before that. I’m currently finding myself talking about this growth in many of the internal meetings that I…

  • Covenant Response

    The Scottish Episcopal Church now has a published response to the draft Anglican covenant. Although I have one strong reservation about something that it says, I do broadly welcome it. My reservation is over the phrase, “There is much in the Draft Covenant which we wish to commend: we appreciate its rootedness in Scripture, …”…

  • Divine Providence

    I see that Aberdeen University is having a conference on Divine Providence. The aim seems to be to revive it. At least that shows an acknowledgement that belief in it is, (thank God), dying at the moment. Divine Providence is a doctrine that most Christians think they are supposed to agree with. The idea is…
